My fav gun in the game. It made me a better manager of ammo and frankly the pre room scanning of Cave Leeches with this gun is priceless.

@Mr_Reaps25

Cave leech scanning is absolutely the best

Another nice thing to note: the smart rifle (and warthog) finishes the reload before the actual animation is finished. By doing anything that changes the animation (i.e. pickaxe, switching weapons, etc.) you can actually cancel the animation early so you can get back to shooting.

Armor breaking in general does not do increased damage to Dreadnought yellow "shell" bar, wich is just a second health bar without weakspot damage bonus

I just unlocked this rifle and it was quite the relief. The shotgun felt terrible, the smg was tolerable, but the rifle is when I finally felt like the Engineer had an effective weapon. I don't have many overclocks, and am not likely to get too many of them any time soon, so just stock it feels much better than the others. Especially when running solo.

My strategy for high hazards is turrets at complex walls, sticky grenade on wall behind (above dwarfs) and nuke the remaining area when large groups, smart rifle explosive rounds for every else

as cool as LOK-1 is, i find it strange it has no synergy with engie’s turrets like the other primaries

I was really excited to try executioner out the first time i got it, it felt underwhelming, the fast "lock on -shoot, lock on -shoot" was less effective than using explosive chemical rounds the same way, as 3 locks on one enemy felt more fun and had more swarm clear potential

@javarakgaming

11 ай бұрын

Understandable.

I’d argue that Executioner could be used as a crowd clearing weapon too if you equip blow through rounds it just shreds anything that gets in your way

You didnt notice extra damage against the dreadnaught with the armorbreak OC, because the dreadnaught doesnt have armor. The game clasifies its shell as "extra health."

I hope you do these videos for all the weapons out there 🤗 I really enjoy them

*ominous laughter in the distance*

I find the smart rifle the best option for engineer if you have trouble making space for yourself and keeping yourself independent from your turrets. Pairing it with the fear module and nuero-lasso, combined with mods designed to increase its lockon amount and angle, and you have an anti-swarm weapon that makes it hard for groups of enemies to reach you, and when they do, give them a chance to run away. At least thats how i run it. I usually pair it with the shard diffractor with overdrive booster, extra heat, larger charge, and dazzler module for large targets and robots. Pair it with the shredder swarm grenade and double defender system turrets with stun, and you have a loadout designed to grind the bugs to a halt with a decent ability against caretaker fights. Edit: ive never thought to pair the electro-module with neuro lasso. Thats such a damn good idea, i might try it out.

executioner overclock is really that meme of “F these four fish in particular”

4:22 actually, dreadnought's armor are different than normal enemies, the og dread with the yellow armor bar, it's purely a damage spoonage and is not affected by armor breaking effect, as stated on wiki "Armor breaking will not increase damage to the shell nor will it pierce the Dreadnought's unbreakable armor." The same can be said to Hiveguard, armor breaking won't help you hit its weak spot if you stand in front of it nor help you do more damage to its prostrusions. As for twins, they do have heavy armor similar to a praetorian, which can be benefited from armor breaking, and that's it. The only helpful thing it does is making a easier job to take down guards and praetorians without heavily rely on hitting their weakpoints. 5:04 for ecr, if you don't run missions with high swarm size you may not noticing it, but the large scan area from CCD or zoom lens can be a pain cuz it puts on lock equally on all targets in its scan area, and very likely you will get 1-2 locks on every targets when full lock is reached on and can't trigger the ecr effect, if going for that 3 lock boom, then macro lens is a more consistent pick. 5:44 seeker rounds does perform will on haz 4 or lower, when swarm moves slow and their size is not impactful, you can comfortably standing at one spot and enjoying the damage seeker rounds bring you, but on haz 5 when grunts actually walks faster than your sprint, the slower rate of fire can seriously cause some issues. 8:05 don't give me wrong, executioner has very high dmg potential, but that's relly on you can consistently hittin the weakpoints of the target, if the bullet is intercept by any armor, terrain, it will loss its effect and just do the normal dmg value, obviously the best place to use it is on elimination for burst dps to chop off the boss hp during the limited windows when their weak spot is open, however more often that's the job for engi's secondary - hyper propellent PGL, overdrive booster shard difractor, every a stock breach cutter can dump insane amount of damage in a short period of time. The power of overclocks in DRG is not represented by its color, unstable (red) oc doesn't mean is rare, powerful, meta, or useful, it only means it makes drastic change to how weapon functions and gives a drastic drawback for balancing, please get your research done before mislead the greenbeards

You have to reach level 18 and complete the 3 weapon unlock missions

does the executioner overclock need ALL of the locks to be on a single target for you to get a damage bonus or can you do 4 and 4 on two different enemies and still get the full bonus out of it??

The armour break mod gives you 1000% more armour dmg bonus

For me LOK is pretty questanable gun, yes it has great damage, fells good, BUT it has very small amount of ammo, I know it's for balence, but I would be happy to see OC like lees damage, more ammo.

Seeker Rounds does not penetrate the body of the Caretaker

titanfall 2 refference appriciated

I would use it more if it had more ammo...

But where is the second weapon video's

I tried this gun first time and it was hard i try with all oveclocs and mods and it still suks,stubby the best primary ,chang my mind

Lucky for me I have both since yesterday For secondary I always recommand shard difractor. Especially with the electrical mods . You always start shooting with smart Lock1 , then obliterate the big one bug still alive with shard difractor 🎉
